Baby Einstein - Baby Da Vinci - From Head to Toe

ok

My Baby has loved this video since he was 2 months old, and now that hes 6 months old he get very excited when I put it on for him. He enjoys the puppets the most he smiles and laughs whenever they come on the TV. I recommend it!

good video

Of the six Baby Einstein DVDs that I own (the others being Mozart, Bach, Galileo, Monet, and Van Gogh) this one is arguably the most educational. It correlates pictures of various body parts (eyes, ears, nose, mouth, face, hands, feet) with the appropriate word in 3 languages, and my 10-month old daughter enjoys watching it. The puppet work is alright, although not as good as the puppet work in Baby Monet. In the bonus material, the story about the monkey getting a bath is a nice touch. Unfortunately, there is a part on the Spanish track when the woman says el agua es tibia, instead of el agua está tibia. This is a blatant error in Spanish; the difference between the verbs ser and estar is one of the first things taught in the first year of high school Spanish. Indeed, the entire story is a very poor translation of the English track; it sounds as if someone who doesnt know Spanish translated each word individually using a dictionary.

Excellent

Great series of dvds for the little ones!

My 2 year old loves this one. And shes gotten so much better at pronouncing each body part.

I think I got this video too late. My son is 18 months old and this movie does not interest him. I will say its slow but it does show a lot of exterior parts for children to get to know.....but the introduction to each part is terribly slow. I think it just didnt work as my son could name everything all ready, and all ready knew the head, shoulders, knees and toes song. So he pretty much ignores this film when its on so we dont watch anymore. I wouldnt recommend this film as one of the better Einsteins, but I suppose younger children may like it?!

My daughter (currently 18 mos) does not watch television, but she has watched 30-90 minutes/day (spread out) of the various videos from the Baby Einstein collection. Now that she is so eager to communicate with us, by husband and I are literally blown away by how much this series has taught her. The first time she watched Baby da Vinci she was totally into it. Touching her own eyes, ears, etc. and laughing at the puppets. THANK YOU Baby Einstein for helping my baby laugh and learn, and for teaching me how to teach my baby!

So far the baby einstein vids have been overall pretty good. This video is better than some of the others Ive seen, I feel, because it exposes the children to French and Spanish which our baby (6 mos) picks up on fairly quickly and thus keeps his interest. The other video he loves is the Wordsmouth one (go figure, another language video). This video has a few puppet shows with monkeys that are really cute, unfortunately our son doesnt like the monkey puppets very much so this one and the dolittle one in that sense dont peak his interest as much as the others. The only real complaint I have about this video is that it only shows a couple pieces by Da Vinci and with all the sketches/studies he did on body parts they really couldve incorporated a lot more of his work into the video making it a real winner (and true to its title) for us since our son loves artwork. I did notice some snotty noses but I hardly think my son is going to notice that so I dont see how it matters but I will say this about the children; they are hardly as cute as the kids in the earlier vids.
